The National Science Foundation's Algorithms for Threat Detection program supports research on new ways to use spatiotemporal datasets to develop quantitative models of human dynamics. The objectives include improved representation of complicated group dynamics and the development of algorithms that can process data in near real-time to accurately identify unusual events and forecast future threats indicated by those events.

What's the Next Big Question in A.I.?
Leaders in A.I. Discuss the Science of the Future
|
|
1 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 2
Basic research is a long game. It is a high-risk pursuit of an idea, challenge or unanswered scientific question that can often take decades to solve. In the year 2040 and beyond, there are outstanding questions to consider to explore significant advances in learning/reasoning. And during the next two decades, there are fascinating questions that will guide us to 2040...
Join the Air Force Office of Scientific Research at 1 p.m., on Wednesday, Feb. 2, for the next installment of our ongoing series of two-hour sessions with leaders in AI, including Rauf Izmaliov, Peraton Labs, Vladimir Vapnik, Columbia, Katerina Fragkiadaki, Carnegie Mellon, Carla Gomez, Cornell, Bart Selmen, Cornell, Benji Maruyama, AFRL and Doug Riecken, AFRL/AFOSR, as they discuss the science of the future, the pursuit of ideas, and unanswered questions.
Just like in any other area, it is basic science that underpins the A.I. capabilities needed to maintain a competitive military and technological advantage in the digital era.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with university and industry leaders, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities today released a report outlining steps universities, industry, and policymakers can take to strengthen collaboration among higher education and industry to advance U.S. innovation and competitiveness. aplu.org
Long-awaited US guidelines designed to make reporting collaborations and funding more straight forward and transparent were released by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in a Jan. 4 report. cen.acs.org
Research by University of Massachusetts Amherst scientists provides a new answer to one of the persistent questions in historical climatology, environmental history and the earth sciences: What caused the Little Ice Age? The answer, we now know, is a paradox: warming. nsf.gov
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today a $9 million investment in new Cooperative Extension and USDA Climate Hubs partnerships to bolster climate research and connect and share climate-smart solutions directly with the agricultural community. nifa.usda.gov
The start of a new year is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the past and set new goals for the future. 2021 was a year of significant change and growth for the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), evolving our organization to rapidly pivot to provide technical and scientific advice, assistance, and solutions to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operations as an active response partner and advisor on the myriad of critical national-level challenges faced today. We can all resolve to improve with each and every year, and S&T never misses an opportunity to evolve…that includes how we think about ourselves and our mission. Science is all about asking questions, finding answers, and then asking even better questions. S&T fully embraces questions, as evidenced by our suite of Master Question Lists for COVID-19, African Swine Fever, and Synthetic Opioids. dhs.gov
Scientists are racing to understand a puzzling series of massive ripples in Earth’s atmosphere triggered by the eruption of the Tongan volcano at the weekend. Satellite data shows that the event — which some fear might have devastated the Pacific-island nation — provoked an unusual pattern of atmospheric gravity waves. Previous volcanic eruptions have not produced such a signal, leaving experts stumped. nature.com
